Driven by a shared passion for affecting lasting change, the students and faculty of the Department of Health Behavior and Health Education work tirelessly in the pursuit of an equitable, healthy future for all. Turning theory and research into actionable practice, we develop interventions and innovations that promote health, prevent disease, and empower people to manage chronic illness and disabilities. Together, our academic community transforms the theoretical into the actionable, the science into the social, applying our knowledge to eliminate health disparities and impact lives for the better. 

At the University of Michigan School of Nursing, we are committed to creating a rich scholarly community that supports the advancement of both nursing as a field and the community's individual members. With researchers constructing new knowledge, educators training the next generation of nurse leaders, and students honing their skills to become expert practitioners, our school is alive with the energy and passion that all of these individuals pour into their pursuits.
